Your Town: Elections Office to recount Measure A ballots

The Monterey County Elections Office has received a request for a recount of ballots for Measure A, the Pacific Grove Unified School District bond that was voted down in November, the office said on its Facebook page Friday.

The measure, which called for a $65 annual parcel tax, failed to reach a required two-thirds majority by just 0.3 percent, or 31 votes.

The office will begin the hand recount Wednesday.
